Cease and Desist using the term Vacutainer

More or less, they also have some fairly arbitrary usage guidelines. The problem isn’t how onerous the demands are, the problem is that they’re making demands at all. As far as I can tell they have no legal right to make these demands. They’re just relying on people to not stand up for themselves precisely because their demands aren’t ornerous.[/quote]

Word, man. I really dig your punk-rock stance on this. If I was in charge of things, I would totally be adamant about continuing to use the term to spite them, but that’s why people don’t let me be in charge of things. Well, except the game company I own. But in that case I have my partner to act as a check/balance against my default “FUCK AUTHORITY” instincts.

Edit: Actually…I think the single easiest thing to do would be to change it to Vaccutainer. The extra C is for Copyright Evasion!

[quote=“Kevin Granade, post:19, topic:14020”]I’m not suggesting we keep using the term to spite them, just pointing out that while the letter was polite, it wasn’t nice.

I’m in favor of changing to blood draw kit, Gimmie a PR somebody :slight_smile:

I changed it and created a PR on this

Can we leave it as it is, but also retcon the story so that a shoddily manufactured batch of VACUTAINER® was the cause of the zombie apocalypse?

Now that’s funny :).

Other terms:

VampTainer
HemoDraw

I’m sure if we just use the blood draw kit, that everyone should understand =)

WTF is a vacutainer anyway?? I got the idea, but the name sounds retarded. It sounds really “sucky” lol
